After doing this calculation, Mr. Feng felt very happy.
Shen You looked at his aunt who was full of joy, and felt warm in his heart. He smiled and said, "Yes, the emperor made me a mighty general of the second rank. After I went to the frontier army, I commanded the cavalry battalion. From now on, I will only serve under General Meng." under."
Shen Mao's eyebrows stretched and he said with a smile: "Okay, okay, this is great!"
Emperor Qing'an issued an order for the border army to train cavalry, which would cost millions of taels of military pay every year. Once the cavalry battalion is fully trained, they will become the elite of the border army. Just thinking about being able to command such an elite army makes me feel excited!
Shen Jia was unwilling to be left out and said with a grin: "The emperor also ordered the fourth brother to select fifty people to serve in the frontier army. I also signed up! When the time comes, we two brothers will go to the frontier army together and show off our talents. "
Shen Mao was not surprised and nodded slightly: "We are brothers fighting tigers. We are father and son soldiers. You can go with Shiro."
Da Feng was actually very reluctant to leave. However, a few years ago, when Shen You led his troops out of Beijing to fight, Shen Jiadu went with him. Whether it was the battle of the imperial mausoleum or the battle of the border troops defending the city, the two brothers In one place. Now that Shen You is leaving Beijing for the border, Shen Jia cannot leave Shen You behind.
Although Shen Jia is more lively and out-of-the-box, she can always help Shen You if something big happens.
Da Feng endured the heartache and said in a low voice: "Your brothers are gone, what about the wives, children, old and young?"
"There is one more good thing that I haven't mentioned yet!" Shen Jiamei said with a smile: "The emperor was especially gracious and allowed us to take our wives and children with us. When we get to the border, we will settle down in one place, which will be more lively."
Mrs. Feng was happy for a while at first, but soon she couldn't bear to leave the child: "You two can just take your wife with you, but don't take the child with you! Sister Miao is about to reach the age of Kaimeng to study, Brother Xu and Brother Yu The children are still young, and I'm afraid they can't bear the pain of traveling around. It's better to leave the children in the capital first, wait for three to five years, and then send them to the border."
This is not possible.
Shen Jiacheng winked at Shen You, and Shen You opened his mouth and said: "It's best for children to be with their parents. We are bringing our families with us here, and we will drive slowly along the way. Nothing will happen."
Da Feng wanted to say something more, but Shen Mao suddenly glanced at her.
When the words came to Da Feng's lips, she swallowed them back and responded instead: "Then you have to take good care of me. Once you settle down at the border, write a letter back immediately."
Shen You responded with a smile: "Okay, I will write back every month from now on."
Shen Jia was even more flattering: "I'll send you one every half month."
Da Feng laughed at first, and then his eyes turned red: "You two brothers have grown up and have wives and children. I won't stop you from doing anything you want to do. However, no matter when the time comes, please be careful. Remember, you must take care of yourself.”
When Da Feng burst into tears, Shen You felt sour and unspeakable. Shen Jia's eyes turned red and he stretched out his right hand and swore an oath: "Your Majesty and Heaven above, I, Shen Jia, swear here that no matter when and where I am, I will always take my own safety as my top priority." Heavy."
"By the way, my fourth brother doesn't like to talk. I will make an oath on his behalf, asking God to keep our brothers safe. Otherwise, my mother's tears will drown our brothers."
The first half is heartwarming, and the second half is hilarious.
Da Feng couldn't cry anymore, so she reached out and patted Shen Jia's shoulder heavily: "Silang has a stable temperament, there is nothing to worry about. I am not worried about you being careless."
Shen Jia coaxed with a playful smile: "Yes, yes, of the four brothers, my mother loves me the most. I know it in my heart."
Da Feng wiped her tears and urged Shen You: "You have to go back and talk to Shaojun about such a big matter. By the way, Shaojun is still sick. You should be more tactful. If she is not willing to go, let her take care of you." I want Brother Xu to stay in the capital or come back to live in Shen Mansion..."
Mrs. Feng kept chattering and gave instructions for a long time.
Still the same as before.
No matter how old he was, what he did, or whether he got into trouble, his second uncle and aunt would always stand by him.
This is his family. Always will be.
Shen You nodded heavily in agreement.
Before leaving, Shen Mao took Shen You to the ancestral hall. In the dim light, Shen Rong's tablet stood quietly in front of him.
Complex and unspeakable emotions flashed in Shen Mao's eyes, which quickly disappeared. He turned to Shen You and said, "Silang, please give your father some incense!"
Shen You nodded, put on a stick of incense, knelt down and kowtowed three times: "Father, my son is going to the frontier army. When the New Year comes, I have to ask my second uncle to offer incense on my behalf."
This ordinary scene made Shen Mao's eyes heat up.
Shen Mao turned his head back, his eyes flashed with water, and his voice was choked: "Brother, your spirit in heaven must protect Shiro's safety."
A gust of breeze came from nowhere, gently blowing the door open, making a slight sound. It seemed like Shen Rong from the sky was responding.
…
In the evening, at the palace gate.
"Why did Eunuch Feng leave the palace at this time?" Eunuch Jin greeted him eagerly, his old face smiling like a stretched chrysanthemum: "Did you have another urgent errand?"
Feng Shaojun didn't have the time to pay attention to him, he nodded casually and walked out of the palace gate.
She walked forward quickly and left the palace without looking back. Everything she once thought was difficult to let go was no longer important at this moment.
After walking for a while, she was keenly aware that someone was watching behind her. She changed several carriages, went around a few streets, and shook off the whistle, and then returned to her private house. She changed her face and returned to Cui's house.
After all this fuss, it was already dark.
When Feng Shaojun quietly returned to Cui's house, the first thing he saw was Ji Xiang lying on the bed "sickly."
Feng Shaojun was shocked: "Why did you suddenly become ill?"
Jixiang's eyes filled with tears: "I don't know what happened today. Something was wrong with my wife early in the morning. When Mrs. Shen came, my wife asked me to pretend to be sick. I have been lying down all day...wait a minute, why did the lady suddenly come back?!"
Jixiang realized belatedly that today was not the day of rest, so why did the young lady suddenly come back?
Feng Shaojun was silent for a moment and whispered: "Go and call Mother Zheng here. I will tell you all together."
No matter how dull Ji Xiang was, she still noticed something was wrong. She quickly got up and stayed on the bed, exchanged clothes with her master, and each used potions to wash away the disguise medicine on their faces, restoring their original appearance and identity.
It was only at this moment that Ji Xiang was shocked to see how ugly his master's face was.
Mother Zheng also came in and was startled by the unprecedented seriousness on Feng Shaojun's face: "What happened?"
Feng Shaojun took a deep breath and said, "The emperor has decreed that Shen You should leave the capital and take up a foreign post. I will take Brother Xu and leave the capital with him."
What?
Leaving Beijing to take up a foreign post?
Mother Zheng and Ji Xiang were shocked.
Before they could open their mouths, Xu's anxious voice sounded outside the door: "Young Master."
Feng Shaojun went to open the door himself.
Mrs. Xu suddenly grabbed Feng Shaojun's hand, her eyes flashing with eagerness: "Shaojun, you are finally back. I have something important to tell you."
